ISPEC Module 4: Communicating About Spiritual Issues and Doing A Spiritual Assessment is proudly presented to you by ISPEC. Thank you. We hope that you enjoy your course.
Communicating with patients and families about spiritual issues is an important step in addressing the spiritual needs of patients. It opens the door to conversations about values and beliefs, uncovers coping mechanisms and support systems, reveals positive and negative spiritual coping, and provides an opportunity for compassionate care. Communicating about spiritual issues ranges from spiritual screening to formal spiritual assessment. This module provides the necessary knowledge and tools to communicate with patients about their spirituality and identify the different aspects of a spiritual screening, spiritual history, and spiritual assessment.
